Legion: 25 WTF Moments From Season 1

25. "How Do You Feel?"

Legion certainly wasted no time in getting bizarre; as one of the very first sequences we're treated to in Chapter 1 is a dream/flashback of our hero, David.

In this flashback, we see things that will be explained later, but are completely out of context and make no sense do to the fact that the show literally just started. While David tosses and turns in bed, we see him eating audio tape with a demented look on his face, him in the middle of an explosion of food and kitchen appliances, a glass frog blowing out smoke, and a creepy man standing expressionless among some vines. All the while, an echoing voice constantly repeats the question: "How do you feel?"

Then, as David wakes up, his bed levitates off the ground before crashing down onto the floor, breaking. He is then rushed by orderlies of the psyche ward he lives in and his force-fed medication as he attempts to plea with them that everything is alright.

It seems that Legion's main goal at times is to confuse the audience, and this sequence did just that right off the bat.
